I am trying to run a GNURadio Companion inside a docker container. However, no matter what Docker I use, all containers exit when I call gnuradio-companion command with the same error:

Unable to init server: Could not connect: Connection refused
Traceback (most recent call last):

The Dockerfiles/images that I used:

https://github.com/laurybueno/docker-gnuradio/blob/master/3.7/Dockerfile

https://github.com/git-artes/docker-gnuradio/blob/master/gnuradio-releases/Dockerfile

https://hub.docker.com/r/bistromath/gnuradio/tags

https://hub.docker.com/r/librespace/gnuradio

From what I have found this error occurs when some dependencies are missing, however thats exactly why I have decided to use Docker. So that I have all dependencies needed within container. I kindly ask for you help. I would like to resolve this error but I have run out of ideas. At this point I am asking myself an additional question: how is that even possible that multiple different images fail with exactly the same error?

CodePudding user response:

This isn't an issue of missing dependencies.

You need a display server connection in order to run a GTK application. Running a graphical application under Docker isn't a great idea. GTK developers recommend using Flatpak as a container technology for desktop applications.
